Dining at Firefly was an ‘experience’! I would utilize this restaurant for special occasions. Our server(I think of her more as an assistant)was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. The amazing thing is that she had only worked there a couple weeks! I have a very difficult time remembering names, but her birthday is December 20, a day before mine! I spilled my water and I INSTANTLY had 3 kind gentlemen efficiently change our tablecloth that made me feel like a special guest instead of the 73 year old accident prone individual I am! The meal was a ‘beautiful presentation’! It was a GREAT experience!

For being off the beach, patio seating is limited as well as your view due to its proximity to the building which blocks your view of the sunset. Nice setup inside, bathrooms very clean, restaurant is modern and there was live music indoors when we went on a Wednesday night. Menu is small, but food was great! Had a couple of cocktails which were also good, everything reasonably priced and not overcrowded compared to most restaurants in the area. Highly recommended!
